Lowell man, 20, charged in Billerica drive-by shooting

BILLERICA -- A Lowell man is in police custody after he allegedly fired several shots into the side of an East Billerica house early Saturday morning, according to Lt. Roy Frost.

Joseph Maccini, 20, allegedly fired several shots with a handgun just after midnight. Frost said police recovered the firearm and are still investigating. No one was hurt in the incident.

Frost said the incident does not appear to be random. He did not release the address of the house.

Maccini is scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning in Lowell District Court on charges of assault with intent to murder, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a residence and possession of a Class D substance (marijuana) with intent to distribute.
